[MARCANTONIO]

I kept running my fingers through her hair, unable to hold back any longer. I leaned in and gently kissed the top of her head.

In a soft, quiet voice, she said, “I missed you, Marco. I dreamed about you while I was fighting for my life. You were the reason I kept going, even when things felt hopeless.”

Her words stayed in my mind, reminding me of what my mom had said about Maddie’s strong will to live. A smile spread across my face as I listened to her.

Then she looked up at me. Her eyes were a bit swollen, like she had been crying earlier. “Now, I have no regrets—especially since I found out I’m pregnant,” she said, watching me closely. “Were you waiting for me? Did I make you wait too long?”

I shook my head, my heart full of love for her. “No, Maddie. It’s never too long. I’ll always wait for you. You’re worth every second.”

Her smile grew, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what would come next. When she left the hospital, we’d need to be extra careful—not just becaus

  • The Don's Obsession   EPILOGUE

    [MARCANTONIO]Five years have gone by. As the soft evening breeze brushes my skin, I look out at the setting sun. The sky is painted with beautiful shades of orange and deep blue—like a painting that never fades. It touches something deep inside me.Five years ago, my wife and I chose a simpler life. We let go of everything connected to the organization and renewed our vows, leaving behind the shadows of our past. I still support my family, but I’m no longer involved in anything illegal. Now, my life is about two things: being a husband to the woman I love and a father to our precious children.We’re on vacation now in Minnesota—the place where our love was reborn. This place holds so many important memories. To give Maddie peace of mind, I made sure our future is secure. I’ve invested wisely and built successful businesses. These past five years have been calm and happy, and every moment has been worth it. Before Maddie, I never thought a peaceful life was possible. She saved me from

    As I looked through the crowd, my smile faded. Three faces stood out—and not in a good way. Danil Kirovsky’s face showed no reaction at all. He looked cold and unreadable, like Marco’s news hadn’t affected him in the slightest.Then there was Enoch Hudson and his brother Everett. Earlier, Everett had worn a smug grin. Now, both brothers had serious, displeased expressions. Their unhappiness was clear, and it stood out in a room full of celebration.“Wow, someone actually stepped down from their position on their own for the first time ever!” Stella said loudly as she walked over. Martina stood quietly next to her, staring at her brother with clear disapproval. Their father nodded slowly, still shocked by everything that had just happened.“When did you decide this, Marcantonio?” asked Uncle Rocco. His voice was formal, and it was clear he hadn’t known about Marco’s plan.“I wanted it to be a surprise,” Marco replied. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while, Uncle. I want a simpler li

    On the night of the Moretti family's big celebration, I felt both nervous and excited. Marco had promised to introduce me to some of his relatives and key supporters I hadn’t met before.The event was very exclusive—only members of their organization were allowed in, and you needed a personal invitation to enter.My hands turned cold as I looked around. Most of the people there didn’t smile or show any emotion. It seemed like being serious was expected if you were part of the group.Throughout the night, I met many different people. Some were famous actors, which surprised me—they were connected to the Moretti family. I also saw politicians, and it was clear that the Morettis had helped them get where they were.I noticed Elmira earlier, but we were both too busy to talk.Marco and I helped welcome guests as they arrived."Uncle Simon..." Marco greeted an older man with deep respect. My knees went weak when I realized who it was. He had such a strong presence—it felt like meeting Marc

    Finding out we were having twins filled us with so much happiness. When we shared the news with our family—especially Mom and Dad—they were thrilled. Mom had lots of advice to share, and I listened carefully.Even though I’ve had trouble with food smells and certain cravings, things haven’t been too hard. Marco, always caring and helpful, supports me in everything. Still, being pregnant isn’t exactly how I imagined. My emotions are all over the place, and even something small—like swatting a mosquito—can suddenly make me cry.During a vacation at the beach resort, Marco and I got into a big fight. It happened after I came out of the restroom and saw him talking to two women. They were laughing, and one said “thank you” in a flirty way. I didn’t hear the whole conversation, but my jealousy flared up.I held Marco’s arm tightly as I stared at the two women. They wore bikinis and looked confident. I, on the other hand, felt self-conscious about my body since gaining weight during the pre

    “DON’T GO!”I held onto Marco’s arm tightly, not wanting him to leave. He had already said goodbye and was about to go to work, but I didn’t want to let him go. The thought of him walking out the door made my chest hurt.Marco had taken a long break from work after everything that happened to us, but today he was finally going back. I wasn’t ready for it.I didn’t understand why I was acting this way. Before, I used to be okay when Marco had to work late or be gone for days. But now, I felt like a child who didn’t want to be left alone.Then it hit me—I am pregnant. And maybe that’s why I suddenly needed him so much. I didn’t want to share his attention with anyone, not even his job.“I have to go to work, sweetheart. I’ll be back later,” Marco said softly, his eyes kind but firm.I pouted, hoping it would make him stay. But I could tell by the look on his face that skipping work wasn’t an option.He brushed his fingers gently through my hair. “I’ll come home as soon as I can, okay? I

    [MADISON]I whispered his name as we pressed against the wall. My legs wrapped around Marco’s waist while he moved inside me with both strength and care. I ran my hands through his hair, tugging gently each time he pushed deeper.“Oh God, Marco, harder,” I breathed, nibbling on his ear. He obeyed, his moans matching mine.Water from the shower mixed with our sweat, making us slick and warm. He pulled me in for a fierce kiss, and I welcomed his tongue, feeling closer to him than ever.“I love you,” I said between kisses. It felt so right in that moment.“Fuck,” he groaned, keeping his pace. I cried out, burying my face in his neck as he brought me higher and higher.My nails left light marks on his skin. I wondered if those scratches would turn into little scars later.“The baby…” he said in a husky voice, slowing for a moment. “Will it be okay?”I smiled. “Yes,” I said softly. “If I’m happy, the baby is too.”He cursed softly and kissed me again, pulling me toward the bedroom without
